Ian - I doubt yours is an 085 box, as I thought they'd dispensed with those a while ago 
Is it cable change and hydraulic?

A quick bit of VIN decoding has confirmed:
TRANSMISSION CODE / GEARBOX NUMBER / TYPE
FHX 085C 5-SPEED MANUAL
TRANSMISSION CODE / GEARBOX NUMBER / TYPE
FHX 085C 5-SPEED MANUAL
The C suggests it's a later, possibly evolved box.
Dig further and it's a possibility
I've done a bit of searching Chris.. are you able to spill some beans on your ClubPolo group buy for the Quaife ATB or clarify the meaning of the 'C' as I presume this could be a likely candidate for my Arosa..?

The GB is done & dusted and in the Quaife catalogue for 2009.
Just a case of being very sure that they will fit really. 085C as opposed to 085 generally means something has changed.... It could be hydraulic clutch, it could be cable change, or it could be box internals.
If you need one, I can certainly help you save on RRP.

Is it worthwhile checking this with Quaife to see if they know anything about the 085/085C?
They won't have access to the information, since they don't have VAG drawings. On the GBs I have done with Quaife, they need the physical parts, to then create their drawings and design.
If there is a prospect of widening a product's application, I am quite sure they would entertain doing the 085C checks, and potentially would do this FOC if a box was supplied, since it's in their interests to do so.

The Stripping Continues..
Given I had a 1/2 day at work today, I decided to continue removing stuff from the lil one when I got home..
First up, I finished removing the front wing as the sill part of it has taken a knock and there is a crease caused during vehicle recovery above the wheel arch (visible on second pic):
Next up I set about removing the bucket seats and subframes along with the aluminium footplates, before moving onto the centre console and lower section of dashboard:
Ahh.. this takes me back
With the lower section of dash removed I next hope to move onto removing the air recirculation unit and passenger airbag along with the sound deadening that runs along behind the dash:
That's all for now, tune in next time folks to see more stuff being ripped off!

Tough but Boring Day
No pics today as there really isn't much to see.. unfortunately!
Today I have removed the sound deadening from behind the dash (that was hard work!), the passenger airbag (surprisingly easy), more sound deadening from behind the scuttle panel and finally all of the tar matting from the floorpan of the interior.
Tomorrow, the work continues!

Not got as much done today as I planned..!
Other than cleaning out the muck from behind the scuttle panel before refitting and hoovering out the bits from the floor pan, all I've managed to do is remove the drivers door! Blimey is it heavy!!!
All set now for a monster day tomorrow (motivation dependant!)

Bumpin', bangin' and grindin'..!
Today my primary tool has been an angle grinder!
With the drivers door removed, I marked out the damaged section of sill with a marker before setting to it with an angle grinder! With the damaged section of panel removed, I started to bash the crumpled sections behind the skin back into shape, including the floor area inside near the b-pillar and also the main 'beam' that runs along just behind the sill.
With things as good as they were ever going to be, I cleaned up all old spot-welds so that the 'new' panel could be refitted along standard joins. Then I had to cut the section of sill panel I had salvaged from a Lupo down to size so that it married up to the damaged area on my car. Once things were pretty close, I then had to remove all of the old spot welds and other panel joins from the new panel (where I had simply chopped everything out of the donor car).
Finally I was ready to start fitting the new, but red section to my Arosa.. the pics below show everything clamped into place, with only minimal grinding/trimming required tomorrow to complete the panel-substitution!
Tomorrow, I will pick up where I left off! ...now for a beer!
